The concept of having a politician in your pocket is more of a movie plot than reality.
Many politicians will gladly take your money as donations to their campaign. They will also enact legislation that is favorable to your industry and whatnot. But one thing they will not do is sacrifice their political career for someone who's one of the most despised persons in crypto.
What's the benefit for the politician? SBF isn't going to be doing them any favors for the rest of his life. SBF played his hand, he lost, he's alone and it's over.
- RachelF 4y agoBenefit is that SBF keeps quite about the not-so-legal "donations"? However he can only play that game so much until he ends up like Epstein.
- SkipperCat 4y agoThe cat is out of the bag on that one. Several politicians have already either returned their contributions or donated them to charity. The onus of that is all on SBF, not the receivers of the funds. But I do agree with you on your second point. SBF could commit suicide out of fear of a long prison term or just the shame of what he has done.
